25 days agoThe switch 2 gives out complete apple vibes. It’s repairability is pretty horrid after watching the teardown guide.
Controllers will fail sooner or later and will have to be replaced. Here it will end up replacing the whole stick just due to glueing small parts of the controller.
Battery will also fail sooner than later. The whole thing yells planned absolesence…
Small note: For the end of life. They don’t have to release all server binaries. Just the API documentation and some binaries (without the libraries that they can’t share) would be more than enough. (Basically extremely minimal additional work for the developer)
Alternatively, there should be visible disclaimer next to the price (We promise the game is playable until xxx). So the consumer would be informed that what they are “buying” is temporary.
Leaving this here for other people who maybe could get a bad impression about putting extra work for developers that could discriminate against indies.
